Today is the final day to submit a public comment to NOPSEMA to help prevent Norwegian company @equinor from drilling in the pristine waters of the Great Australian Bight. It will take 5 minutes of your time to save a potentially life changing event for not just Australias coastlines, but the marine life, coastal communities, and water quality of our Southern Ocean 🌊 This stretch of coast and the basin is still largely uncharted with an incredibly unique and crucial ecosystem. Please go to the link in @greataustralianbightalliance to submit. Please speak up. Say no to Big Oil in the Bight 🚫‼️ #fightforthebight #bigoildontsurf #greataustralianbight

Botanical dyeing was introduced to me through my beautiful friend @abi_fincham last year, a process which created such gorgeous results using garden flowers, food scraps, and a few other magical ingredients to create a work of art. Every piece was unique, I didn't even know it was possible to bundle plants and dye them in this way. My practice is mostly with single colour on it's own, but this opened up another avenue that has made my world more colorful & help me explore my natural dyeing skills in a different way. For any of my Australian friends in the Northern Rivers to Brisbane area, she is hosting an awesome intro workshop this coming Saturday. Swipe left to see details and head over to her bio for registration link. 🌸🌼🍃 This is a great workshop for anyone just getting introduced into natural dyeing in a very accessible way. If you're not in Australia, go show some love and give her a follow 💓😘 ... #botanicaldye #plantlove #flowerpower #brisbane #goldcoast #byronbay #forage #slowfashion #alchemy #naturaldye @lunarc.studio

It's the first day of Spring!! 🌸🐣🌷💓 I celebrated it with natural dyeing on Easter eggs! 😍👏🏾 Turmeric, Onion Skins, and Indigo! I'm going to try with some petals and leaves next for imprints, but I LOVE how these cuties turned out! {Apparently onion skin Easter egg dyeing is a tradition of Estonia - my family roots! } ✨::AND:: im thinking of hosting a kid-friendly workshop making your own naturally dyed Easter eggs here in SF!✨ Would some of you like to learn how to create these with food scraps and safe foraged goods for you & the fam? 👉🏾DM me if you're in the San Francisco/Bay Area as I'm starting a list to send more info to! 💓 #eastereggs #spring #naturaldye #foraged #slowliving #sundays #bloom #natural #chemicalfree

I love seeing these Traveler Tops make their way around the world 🙏🏼Super babe surfer yoga goddess @laurenbiddulph making it look good with that beautiful Sayulita tan 💓🌴🌊😉 ••• thanks for the tag love. xx Thinking I should bring these back for summer, indigo blues, marigold yellows and perhaps some other colours too? What do you think? ... 🌈 .

INDIGO💧VELVET ... because it was just time. Saved the best for last ;) raw threads and blue fingers, happy to have these hands back into the vat. 👁 LOOK at that blue ✨💙✨this velvet is a silk+cellulose base and has taken to each and every one of these dye plants in the most beautiful and impressive way. It's my new favourite textile 🖖🏾⚛️ #indigo #plantdye #velvet #textilelove #blue

🌲Forest greens and blues ~ welcome back indigo 💙 overdyed onto the Oxalis (left) & Turmeric (right) ~ this was deeply satisfying to see these colours reveal themselves in such a rich, luscious hue. The oxalis is more of a forest green, and the turmeric has deeper blues. Overdyeing a yellow with indigo is one of the best ways to produce a green hue that can be varied with dips, as there are a select few plants that can provide green in nature - even though we see green all around us! (ex: chlorophyll is a molecule that loves/eats light, and absorbs red and blue - thus only reflecting green light 🌱🍃) Yes it's alchemy but it's mostly science and colors absorbing each others wavelengths like yellow and blue creating green, is not only beautiful, it's an absolute mind bender that our eyes perceive light in this way! ✨👁✨And the results? Something lusciously divine that you can wear, gaze at, and appreciate what nature gives & what we see ... 💚💚💚 #blue #green #indigo #yellow #oxalis #turmeric #plantdye #velvet #science #tripout #color #slowfashion #naturelover

Just cause.... you've got to #Aloha through the winter too 🌧💙😁🤙🏾 ... Springs just around the corner here, all the cherry blossoms are blanketing the ground, everything is green from the rains, and I'm looking forward to bringing back some #indigo blue into my life 🌊✨ p: @adrianas_studio

✨🔮velvet invasion in my studio🔮✨ #plantdye

✨🌼OXALIS🌼✨Hey Charlie Brown 😁👏🏾 The beautiful clear yellow is the result of a first dip extraction, the middle yellow was the velvet being left overnight (it is nearly identical to turmeric to the naked eye, but when overdyed looks very different!) and the brown is the oxalis overdyed with iron ✨ The range of colour with this plants alchemy is impressive. I've been mostly geeking out on the chemistry aspect of all this dye exploration from plant to plant, most of them producing beautiful and strong colours that are altered with all sorts of pH variants. Makes me want to study chemistry again 🤔⚗️ My next posts will be re-introducing indigo to this palette... 💙💙💙 #alchemy #mothernature #flowerpower #naturaldye #velvet #textilelove #yellow #oxalis #slowfashion #charliebrown

🌼oxalis✨wood sorrel🌼 this dreamy little plant goes by many names, and happens to be in season blooming right now in California. It's been exciting stumbling upon patches of these (it's nearly everywhere now that I know what to look for! 🍀) but little did I know this journey into 💛yellow💛 would be surprising me in the most magical way. The next few posts will be my results & exploration of this electric clear hue and some other overdyes I've been playing with. ☀️Winter has been a total process of experimenting and rest, allowing my creativity to explore colour, concept, texture (omg hello velvet! 😍) and simply enjoying being outside in the cool, rainy wetness of the season 🙏🏾🌲✨.

🍃Comparison is the thief of joy, just as stuff is the thief of your time. Don't let your insecurities or your possessions control your life. Can you cultivate and experience the same happiness with $50 to your name as you would $50,000? What about 10 lb lighter or heavier? With or without a lover? Can you still love yourself just the same? Can you still give when you have nothing and when you have it all? Do you know how to receive? Is the growth of your spiritual health as primary as your mental & physical wellbeing? Do you question the motive and purpose behind your actions? Can you forgive? ---- We are that which we are seeking ---- call off the search, grow where you are planted, and realize it's not about you... it never was 🌱❤️🍃
